To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that CARL F. CREoELrUs, citizen of the United States,residing at Falmouth, in the county of Pendleton and State of Kentucky,has invented certain new and useful Improvements in Automobile Pockets;and I do hereby declare the followin to be a full, clear, the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to'make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in automobile pockets, and moreespecially to supplementary pockets which are adapted to be attached tothe doors of an automobile, so that there will be a convenient place tocarr the usual tools and other necessities.

Tli e object of the invention is to provide a suitable automobile pocketwhich will be provided with a resilientclamping and supporting memberwhich is adapted to engage the upper portion of an automobile door andwhich is further adapted to support a bag or pocket in which the toolsor other necessities may be carried.

A further object of the invention is to provide a suitable detachableautomobile pocket which may be clamped over the top of an automobiledoor for holding any desired article, and which will be so constructedthat it may be removed and another pocket positioned without delay.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a suitabledetachable automobile pocket which will be highly eficient in use andquite inexpensive to manufacture.

Other objects Wlll appear as the description proceeds.

In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of my application,

'Fig. l is a perspective view of my meproved automobile pocket attachedto a door of an automobile;

Fi 2 is a perspective view of the automobile pocket, and

Y Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view of the same.

Like characteristics of reference are used throughout the followingspecification and the accompanying drawings to designate correspondingpomts.

and exact description oi A suitable resilient clampin support isprovided with spaced upward y and outwardly extendin diverging members1, whlch are bent laterally as at 2 to term the shoulders 3, which areand have their opposite ends 4, to form a su porting bar or member.

The upward y extending members 1 are bent rearwardly and downwardly asat 5 and are connected by the portion 6. The rearwardly and downwardlyturned portion 5 is adapted to be positioned over the upper surface ofan automobile door 8 in such a manner that the upwardly extendingmembers 1, are positioned on the inside of the said door while thecrossmember 6 is positioned on the outside of thesame.

A suitable bag or container 9 is secured to the supporting bar in anydesired manner as b the stitches 10 and is provided with a ap or closure11 for the opening 12 at the top of the bag.

From the foregoing description it will be apparent that since theseveral portions of the clamping support are formed of a resilientmaterial, preferably wire, the connecting bar 6 will have the tendencyto firmly clamp the support in position on the upper portion 7 of thedoor 8.

This supplemental pocket is more especially adapted for use where thereare no pockets provided in the automobile door, so that the tools andother necessities may be placed therein so that they will be convementand handy when needed.

It will be understood that this supplemental pocket may be made for avery small cost, so that when one is partially worn out or completelyworn out, it may be. interchanged with a new one, whereas, when theusual pocket in an automobile door is broken or worn out, the same isrendered of little or no value. The spaced members 1 and 5 extend at aslight angle to each other so that there will be a resilient clampingaction between the same when in position on the automobile door.

Many minor chan es in detail of description may be resorte to withoutdeparture from the spirit of the invention.

Having thus described my invention, what bent inwardly connected as atEli) till) I claim as new and desire o secure by Letizontal bar andbent-in members to form a ters Patent of the United States is: hook, thehook members being connected b A bag supporting member comprisin a a barforming a continuation of the hoo 0 horizontal bar having its ends bentmwar 1 terminals. 7 5 and extending upwardly from the inner en s Intestimony whereof I aflix my signature.
